I guess the punchline will come tomorrow. As far as getting out is concerned, nethack always cares for you, not necessarily in a way that you like but still ;-)

I liked the comic, but there really should have been some funny punchline.

Hey, vault teleporters are located in closets, not in rooms. Well, guess that was a generic trap..

Yay, my comic! That cheered me up after the impossible day I had yesterday (don't ask).

I thought I'd try one with a more subtle joke, which is why it doesn't beat you around the head with the punchline. I probably should have changed the amount in frame 7, but aside from that it turned out reasonably well.

(Based on a true story)

Ahh, subtlety like that is lost on us fools here. All us NetHackers have been raised on jokes no more subtle than a good solid lucern hammer to the face.



This is the kind of humour I could learn to appreciate.



Named MjollnirForged by the dwarves Eitri and Brokk, in response to Loki's
challenge, Mjollnir is an indestructible war hammer. It has
two magical properties: when thrown it always returned to
Thor's hand; and it could be made to shrink in size until it
could fit inside Thor's shirt. Its only flaw is that it has
a short handle. The other gods judged Mjollnir the winner of
the contest because, of all the treasures created, it alone had
the power to protect them from the giants. As the legends
surrounding Mjollnir grew, it began to take on the quality of
"vigja", or consecration. Thor used it to consecrate births,
weddings, and even to raise his goats from the dead. In the
Norse mythologies Mjollnir is considered to represent Thor's
governance over the entire cycle of life - fertility, birth,
destruction, and resurrection.

But Dudley's situation is really not all that bad. Just wait for the guardThese strange creatures live mostly on the surface of the
earth, gathering together in societies of various forms, but
occasionally a stray will descend into the depths and commit
mayhem among the dungeon residents who, naturally, often
resent the intrusion of such beasts. They are capable of
using weapons and magic, and it is even rumored that the
Wizard of Yendor is a member of this species.

Did you know that guards can see money tucked away in a bag of"Now, this third handkerchief," Mein Herr proceeded, "has also
four edges, which you can trace continuously round and round:
all you need do is to join its four edges to the four edges of
the opening. The Purse is then complete, and its outer
surface--"
"I see!" Lady Muriel eagerly interrupted. "Its outer surface
will be continuous with its inner surface! But it will take
time. I'll sew it up after tea." She laid aside the bag, and
resumed her cup of tea. "But why do you call it Fortunatus's
Purse, Mein Herr?"
The dear old man beamed upon her, with a jolly smile, looking
more exactly like the Professor than ever. "Don't you see,
my child--I should say Miladi? Whatever is inside that Purse,
is outside it; and whatever is outside it, is inside it. So
you have all the wealth of the world in that leetle Purse!"
